I’m Not That Kind of Talent Chapter 159

159. Deon Hart, Traitor to Humanity (7)

“…I want to destroy all the Incubuses in the world before my eyes.”

“Oh my.”

Ben clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.

However, Ed, who was clearly annoyed by the raised corners of his mouth, began to fight with him, and Deon, who was watching the comedy unfolding before his eyes without a smile, turned his head and saw Hien approaching him.

The gardener of the Demon King’s Castle was smiling brightly at him, holding a normal flower for the first time.

“It is the flower of the human world!”

“…Didn’t you only show me flowers from the Demon World and give them as gifts? “Why bother?”

“Recently… you have been staying in the demon world for an unprecedentedly long time. “I think you miss the human world….”

I’m obviously not interested in flowers, but this flower strangely catches my eye.

A flower that knows it will attract attention, but is not unpleasant and has a rather gentle feel.

This is the flower of the human world?

“Where did you get it?”

“There was a small well-groomed mound near the border on the human world side. There is this flower blooming pretty on top of it, and it attracts attention…”

“Mound?”

“yes! There was a well-cut stone standing in front of it.”

It’s a grave. The stone erected is a tombstone.

The human who created a grave near the border is absurd, but Hien, who plucked the flowers that bloomed on the grave, is also absurd. Should I say that I was fortunate that I didn’t bring the flowers that were ‘placed’ on the grave?

‘Bloomed’ flowers are natural, but ‘laid’ flowers are a gift from someone to the dead.

‘…did you say demons don’t make graves?’

If so, it’s okay to not know.

I slowly rolled my eyes and looked at the other demons watching. As expected, everyone is watching this situation blankly, as if they don’t know anything.

Oh, just one person. Ed, who often visited the human world, had a pale complexion.

“You dare say, where did you get the flower from…”

“Hien.”

This time, Ed’s words were cut off.

Deon, who had been silently examining the flower with his gaze down without extending his hand, raises his eyes and looks at Hien. The corners of his mouth slowly rose as if drawn.

“It seems like my personality has become a lot sharper these days. “Seeing how he saves even the flowers of the human world and carefully observes them.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“thanks.”

“…!”

Even if you’re near a grave, you should feel uncomfortable, but strangely, even though it’s a flower that was blooming on a grave, you don’t feel unpleasant at all.

Hien freezes with his eyes wide open at the positive meaning, and Dan approaches to receive the flowers. However, just before Dan took the flower out of Hien’s hand, Ed quickly snatched it.

‘…He’s keeping Dan in check to a great extent.’

Now that I think about it, Ed’s reaction was quite significant when I first brought him up.

With a shocked face, ‘Are you saying I’m not enough?’ Did you shout?

[I… I know that I am not trustworthy. That’s why it’s not easy to trust and entrust something. Still… I will try harder to be recognized, so if you rely on me more than that person…!] [

…Calm down.]

Even though I have been seeing him for quite some time, this is the first time I have seen such an expression.

Deon looked down at Ed and his empty hands, who were carefully holding the flowers, then shrugged his shoulders and looked back at Dan, then turned his back and walked into the room.

Ben seemed to have gone back to his room when the footsteps of two people followed behind him.

Deon soon arrived in front of the room and turned around. He looked back and forth between the two men, who were looking at me as if waiting for an order, then fixed his gaze on Ed and said,

“Thank you for taking me. “You must be tired, so leave the flowers with Dan and go rest now.”

“…!”

Ed’s hands tremble at the obvious sign of congratulations. Dan held out his hand as if to quickly hand it over, fearing that the trembling flower would be damaged.

He managed to maintain his senses even though he was adding fuel to the fire. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he passed the flowers and turned away without being able to speak.

‘….’

Dan, who had been silently watching his back, followed Deon into the room and clicked. After making sure the door was locked, he found a nice vase and put some flowers in it, and uttered a few words.

“You’re heartless, Master.”

“Because they are demons.”

The relaxed tone of voice, different from the outside, returned with a tacit affirmation.

Even though he was on the loose side, the distinctly different atmosphere was disconcerting, but Dan said calmly as he filled the vase with water.

“Still, he was so enthusiastic, but I feel a bit sorry for him.”

“well. It would be better not to get too attached. “No matter how passionate you are about me, you are still a demon in the end.”

Deon clearly remembered the situation at the time when the Demon King tried to save me as I was dying.

At that time, Ed was clearly trying to stop the devil.

[Okay, it might be fun to check your fate at this point. Are you going to die here or not?]

[…Demon Lord.]

A call that seems to be reluctant and contains the meaning of restraint.

At the time, I was unable to analyze the incoming information because it was too much to store in a corner of my head, but when I regained my senses and recalled my memory, I was able to understand.

Ed valued the price the Demon King would pay for saving him more than the life of the 0 Corps commander.

‘Although his attitude toward me is not false.’

He does not serve ‘Deon Hardt’, but the ‘0 Corps Commander’.

Absolute authority recognized by all demons….

“Authority.”

“…yes?”

“That guy doesn’t serve me, he serves my authority. “If I keep it by my side, someday I will be able to open the camouflage and check inside. How would I react if I found out that the monster-shaped shadow owner that I trembled and worshiped was actually just a rabbit?”

It would be better to distance yourself before something like that happens.

“Master is a kitten rather than a rabbit….”

“…?”

“Well no, that was in the past and now… Snow fox? Does it resemble a snow fox?”

“…What is he saying now.”

Dan, who was steadfastly touching his chin and thinking of a white, furry snow fox despite the pitiful gaze, focused on Deon again when he heard the voice that followed.

“You are a ‘human’ who relies on my ‘authority’ and has a foot in the demon world. If my authority becomes an illusion…”

“I know, Master. “You will die.”

“I will definitely die.”

Even in the face of the horrifying truth, Dan grinned.

“It is very difficult for them to tell us that we are a community with a shared destiny, so we should help with all sincerity.”

“….”

“So you’re helping me like this now.”

I put the vase in my hand down on the window sill.

I know he can’t fully trust me from his perspective. In a conversation the other day, I pointed at him openly and said, ‘He is the person who ruined my life.’ How can I trust him?

He later said, ‘He is the person who will achieve my goal and the goal itself’, but that is not a reason for Deon Hardt to trust the person named ‘Dan’.

In the end, Deon Hardt decided to trust the ‘situation’ instead of trusting the person ‘Dan’.

A situation where Dan is obsessed with his ‘goal’. A situation where Dan is gaining safety under Deon Hart’s status and authority in the demon world. If Deonhardt falls, Dan will also face death.

“I will leave the flowers here. “It’s the Demon World anyway, so it wouldn’t make sense to put it by the window.”

“…Don’t be attached to demons for no reason.”

“Yes. “I said I felt a little sorry for you. You are too sensitive.”

“Pity is also an emotion close to a kind of favor.”

When divided into good and bad, at least it is not ‘bad’.

“That soon becomes affection, and affection becomes the cornerstone of building friendships. “Friendship will make you relax your boundaries, and relaxed boundaries will make even your tightly closed mouth loosen.”

“…Okay, I’ll be careful from now on. Rather, even if you lie down on the bed, take off your outer clothes and lie down. “Are you uncomfortable?”

“huh.”

“…Take it off.”

***

“Master, it’s still chilly so take this.”

Dan puts on the outer garment and fastens it tightly. Not to be outdone, Ed took Deon’s hand and put on a black glove, saying that his hands might get cold.

Deon, who had been silently accepting all of this while standing in the middle of them, resolutely refused when they even tried to give him a scarf, turned his back and picked up a black robe that resembled the symbol of the 0 Corps commander.

Suddenly, the color of the robe caught my eye and I laughed.

‘The outer garment, gloves, and even the scarf that was supposed to cover it were black.’

Does he really want to make it known that Deonhardt is on the side of the demon world?

Even though he wasn’t the doll he was dressing up, Deon gave the two people a pitiful look as they were fighting over who would dress them, and began to put on the robe.

“Master, are you going to wear it alone?”

“why?”

“No, Master… your clothes…

are dressed in a mess. … Is this what you call humanity?”

As if he wanted to relieve his sorrow over the long distance between him and Edgar Deon, who quickly accepted Dan’s slurred words, he made eye contact and belatedly added his words.

Anyway, it was too late. Isn’t that all they added that they will ignore it because it’s not humane?

‘I dress messily?’

Deon lowered his head and looked at his new robe. It is perfect. Well, it’s a robe that you can just put on and roughly tie, so is there any problem with it?

“Master, I will put it back on. So don’t make any more weird wrinkles there…”

Correct. It looks like it’s not perfect. There could be problems just wearing a robe.

Dan lamented, ‘It’s an important day today, so I wanted to dress you neatly,’ and quickly approaches and starts putting the robe back on. Deon, who was quietly watching his actions, tilted his head and suddenly asked a question.

“Am I bad at dressing like that?”

“I have never seen clothes this wrinkled in my life. “If I hadn’t seen you put it on from the beginning, I would have thought someone had crumpled the master’s clothes into a ball on purpose and gone crazy.”

“Your language is rude. “How on earth do you serve Demon?”

“So I guess you don’t think that way?”

“…Humans say that is humanity.”

…Is it that serious?

Even though Ed said it himself, he avoided eye contact as if he was being stabbed. Dan laughed openly.

“Even if you defend your humanity….”

“…What’s the problem? I don’t think that’s wrong. “I heard that this aspect is also necessary because being too perfect can actually lead to feelings of distance or rejection.”

At this point, Deon felt like he needed to take a serious look at himself, leaving the two growling to recall his memory of clothes.

‘…Now that I think about it, I haven’t really dressed myself.’

Even if I wore it myself, someone would always adjust the look of my clothes later.

Even during the 8 years of war, crazy dogs used to style their clothes. Sometimes, I felt like I couldn’t do anything about it, so I completely unpacked it and put it on from scratch. In the process, nagging me to please wear underwear is a bonus.

‘What are those guys doing now…’

I thought of the murderous knights for a moment, but then I looked back at Dan, who said that Deon was done and withdrew his hand. Then, I noticed the Demon King leisurely waiting for me a little distance away and took a step back.

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

“Your clothes look a little wrinkled. Are you okay? Today is an important day. “You can change if you want.”

“…it’s okay.”

“What do you like?”

The devil with a grin turns around and takes the lead, as if asking me to follow him. Not long after I followed him carefully, my steps stopped in front of a room in the Demon King’s Castle.

Suddenly he opens the door. A cool wind scratched his face as if he had been waiting, but Deon was not even aware of it and just slightly widened his eyes at the scene unfolding before him.

“…oh.”

“how is it? Are you fine?”

It’s not okay.

A wide open window and three vivid moons visible beyond it. In addition to the gorgeous interior of the room, there is even a luxurious office desk and chair placed in the background.

“You can just stand anywhere… It’s not important and you don’t need to talk about it for too long, so there’s no need to go this far…” “It’s not

important, so of course it’s important. Today is the first day you stand in front of everyone, right?”

To be exact, it will be the day I stand before everyone as a traitor to humanity.

The day when Deonhardt uses his tongue as a representative of the demon world to divide the human world that has formed an alliance.
